"No offense, but what do you know about Torres' relationship with the Chelsea fans?"

No offense taken.

I simply said that he respected the club and the fans. I do not claim to know much at all of Torres' relationship with the fans, other than the fact that he once said that he was very happy to hear the fans applauding him and chanting his name despite him sitting on the bench and not having scored a goal (in his first season at Chelsea). That is a player respecting his fans and his club.

As far as I'm concerned, he has never spoken out against Chelsea or its fans despite their constant criticisms of him. He is a truly classy player. I do not wish to tell you what to do, but it would be a little nicer of you, as a Chelsea fan, to not 'celebrate' in his departure. It was a very intelligent move by Chelsea (I'm beginning to think that they are the true businessmen in World Football), and I congratulate you and your club in your excellent transfer window. It's the best I've seen in the last 5 years.

To me, this is deal of the year for Chelsea

He may have not been the best player on the pitch (and I may have made fun of him in the past, but hey, who isnt guilty of that?) but I personally think that he's still got a little bit left in him. He showed sparks of speed, great passing and movement and it's hard to deny that he didn't give Chelsea his 100% when he played. He tried very hard on the pitch and gave it his all and that's a noble thing to do considering the hostility shown towards him. I sincerely hope he does well at Milan. Good luck Torres.

@Tuanis: That's BS. Torres was destined to break, whether it was with Chelsea or Liverpool. He just wasn't the same, and no club could have reverted him to his old ways.

@Dynastian: I understand where your coming from but it's extremely hard not to celebrate after knowing your worst striker ever (yes, I know it's harsh but the truth is harsh) is never coming back and we saved 27 million on this deal. How can we not celebrate. :P

Torres' farewell letter:

Thank you for those 3 glorious nights in Europe, Torres. You were a sh*t Blue, but a Blue is a Blue. Thanks for everything.

Good luck to him at Milan, despite all the bad days I think he always been a hard worker, and even if he wasn't as good when you look at the overall of his time at Chelsea, I'll never forget the good days. Respect and good luck to him.

"But my most important goodbye is to my family, friends and soul mates. I will miss all of you."


Haha Sorry I lost it there... Good luck Torres and thanks for everything you've done at our club! :)

i put my faith in Pippo Inzaghi, if he can't bring back Torres then nobody can.
